BJP alone can ensure welfare of UP and its people: Amit Shah

Lucknow, Jan 24 (UNI) Over a year ahead of Uttar Pradesh polls, Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said only BJP can ensure welfare of the state's people. "The Samajwadi Party, BSP, and Congress are casteist and dynastic parties. They cannot serve your welfare. Reject such parties in 2027 and form a BJP government with a landslide victory," he said in an appeal to the people.

Amit Shah was addressing a function after inaugurating the 3-day-long UP Diwas celebrations here at the Prerna Sthal. He also launched the One District, One Cuisine (ODOC) scheme to promote the traditional cuisine of each district worldwide.
